Chapter 1: The Dark Boy
Spirit Forbidden Island, an unknown place in the Alchemy Continent.
The islands, although huge, are very different from the Alchemy Continent. There is not enough metal here, and it is full of insurmountable dangers and bloodthirsty monsters, so every part of the island is full of danger at every moment.
It has long been forgotten and has become an untouchable place in people's hearts.
Here, the law of the jungle is the strong, and scenes of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest are staged every day. If you don't have enough strength, it's only a matter of time before you lose your life.
However, this is where the legend originated.
"Xiahou Ming, stick to your heart, don't lose yourself!" was an old man who spoke, with gray hair, a vicissitudes of life, and a wide white and gold robe, but he still couldn't hide the protruding muscles that didn't fit his age.
He sat under the canopy of a large tree on the Forbidden Island, and for some reason, there wasn't a single monster nearby. He closed his eyes and faced the three young men in front of him.
There were three young men in front of him, a man and a woman holding chains in their hands. The boy's name is Shangguan Shuo, and he is nineteen years old.
He was ordinary-looking, but he had eyes that revealed fortitude, and a glaring scar on his neck, as if he had suffered a trauma similar to a decapitation, which added a little terror to him. But he was dressed in blue clothes, blown by the wind, fluttering, free, handsome, and elegant, like a hermit in the bamboo forest.
The girl's name is Nangong Lan, and she is sixteen years old.
She not only has a seductive face, but also has a devilish figure, which makes people think of those red faces who are alluring the country and the city. I saw that she was dressed in a purple dress, which complemented her long purple hair, constantly showing her noble temperament.
The two of them held chains that glowed blue and purple, and tightly locked a young man covered in black mist. This young man was only fifteen years old, and his originally delicate face had become extremely hideous at this time, and the clothes on his body had already been torn, revealing strong and bleeding muscles, he was Xiahou Ming.
At this time, Xiahou Ming, who was locked up for some reason, struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, his distorted facial features showed his pain, Shangguan Shuo and Nangong Lan looked anxious, showing the entanglement and reluctance in their hearts, but they still held the iron chain hard, making Xiahou Ming's struggle in vain.
"Fifth brother, it's not good to be the eldest brother, I shouldn't let you enter the Netherworld!" Shangguan Shuo shouted at Xiahou Ming with self-reproach, trying to wake him up who had lost himself.
This morning, Xiahou Ming, who was idle and had nothing to do, wandered around the island, and happened to see Shangguan Shuo in cultivation, so he wanted Shangguan Shuo to take him to the demon beast forest on the island - the Netherworld Forest to hunt demon beasts and pick elixirs, but Shangguan Shuo thought it was too dangerous and did not agree.
However, after Xiahou Ming's long-lasting soft grinding and hard bubbles, Shangguan Shuo finally agreed. However, who would have thought that in the Netherworld Forest, they would encounter the most difficult Moon Shadow Wolf, this kind of demon beast is violent by nature, and is good at hiding and sneak attack, so its combat effectiveness is extremely high, even if Shangguan Shuo and Xiahou Ming joined forces to resist, they were still attacked.
Shangguan Shuo and Xiahou Ming were helpless, in order to save their lives, they had to run away frantically, but the lagging Xiahou Ming was pounced on the ground by the Moon Shadow Wolf who caught up, and Shangguan Shuo, who was seriously injured, saw that Xiahou Ming was about to be torn by the Moon Shadow Night Wolf, and then rushed up again.
At this moment, Xiahou Ming, who was under the claws of the Moon Shadow Wolf, stopped struggling, and a terrifying voice sounded in his mind:
"Devour it, devour it......"
Suddenly, Xiahou Ming roared, jumped up from the ground at once, and slammed the Moon Shadow Wolf under him, without using any alchemy, just a solid punch, he smashed the Moon Shadow Wolf's head, and took out a blood-stained demon crystal from it.
Shangguan Shuo, who was stunned by all this, stood in place in a daze, looking at him like a fool. After that, Shangguan Shuo thought that all this should be over, but the next scene proved that he was wrong. Xiahou Ming actually attacked him!
Originally, Xiahou Ming's strength could not compete with Shangguan Shuo, but at this time, Xiahou Ming seemed to be enchanted, both the attack and the speed had increased by more than one grade, so that Shangguan Shuo at this time could not parry at all, so he could only retreat again and again, but he happened to meet Nangong Lan who rushed to hear the sound, and the two of them worked together to only bind him, resulting in the current scene.
As the eldest brother, he couldn't solve his brother's pain, and Shangguan Shuo's heart was dripping blood sadly! Nangong Lan, who saw all this in his eyes, cried sadly, and his heart was not happy. When the two of them controlled Xiahou Ming, their master, Dongfang Yin, didn't know when he arrived here.
Suddenly, Xiahou Ming, who was restrained, raised his head and roared into the sky. This heart-rending sound was terrifying, and even the demon beasts on the island became uneasy, and then, his eyes completely turned into pure black, and he sneered at everyone present, and said:
"Dark, metallurgical ......"
After finishing speaking, a black Qi slowly appeared on his hand, slowly absorbing the metal elements between heaven and earth, thus growing larger and larger, and finally turning into a terrifying alchemy beast that could not be named.
It resembled a large, four-legged insect, covered in black scales, with a pair of curved horns on its head, a wisp of black flame in the middle, and a huge mouth full of sharp teeth and two protruding fangs.
At this time, Dongfang Yin, an old man with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, looked at the demon beast in front of him with a puzzled face, and thought: Is this ......?
Under the control of Xiahou Ming, the big insect gradually appeared conscious, and a terrifying coercion bloomed, causing the demon beasts on the island to flee, making the two people in front of them feel a suffocating sense of oppression.
Shangguan Shuo and Nangong Lan glanced at each other in unison, and thought to themselves: It's not good!
So, Shangguan Shuo slammed the iron chain into the ground hard, and while smashing a hole, he smashed the iron chain deep into the earth, and then he took a step back and shouted:
"Wind, metallurgy - Qingluan!"
Then, a cyan qi appeared from his hand and rushed into the sky, absorbing the thin metal elements in the air, forming a huge cyan giant bird in the air, as if it was a cyan phoenix. I saw it flapping its wings, covering the sky and the sun, and making the terrible coercion disappear.
As soon as Qingluan appeared, the big insect felt that its coercion had been eliminated, so as if it had been provoked, it immediately rushed to the sky and fought with Qingluan.
Under the control of Shangguan Shuo, Qingluan was like a ghost, changing shapes and shadows, and erratic, showing a unique body style. In this way, Qingluan kept changing his figure, making it impossible for the big insects to catch it, and it was impossible to launch an effective attack for a while.
At this time, Xiahou Ming muttered a few strange words in a low voice, as if he was chanting a mysterious incantation, and Dongfang Yin on the side frowned slightly after hearing it.
Suddenly, the big insect that was fighting in the sky instantly swelled up, and its momentum increased, and it accelerated its speed, and instantly rushed to Qingluan's side.
Shangguan Shuo shouted:
"Retreat!"
But after all, it was still a step too late, and the big insect pierced Qingluan's wings with its claws in an instant, and then Qingluan let out a long roar, spread its wings and flew quickly, trying to escape. The big insect seemed to have expected it to escape, and suddenly opened its mouth, revealing a black hole, emitting a powerful suction, so that the injured Qingluan could not escape no matter how much he flapped his wings. Eventually, the black hole slowly sucked the injured Qingluan into its mouth and devoured it.
Shangguan Shuo, who was swallowed by the alchemy beast, was counterattacked, spit out a mouthful of blood, and knelt weakly on the ground. And after doing all this, the big insect did not disappear, but rushed towards the weakened Shangguan Shuo on the ground. At this critical moment, Nangong Lan shouted:
"Tone, metallurgy—Xuan Whale!"
Immediately afterwards, a purple Qi appeared, and with a strong sound wave, it continued to absorb metal elements, forming a purple giant whale suspended in the air, constantly emitting sound waves that could pierce the soul, shocking the attack of the big bug, making its offensive stop, giving Shangguan Shuo a chance to dodge, and instantly flashed to the side.
With the lesson of Shangguan Shuo's failure, Nangong Lan, who knew that she was not as good as Shangguan Shuo, controlled the Xuan Whale and did not act rashly, but continued to defend with sound waves, but in this way, she couldn't take care of Xiahou Ming. Seeing that the attack of the big insect was disintegrating the defense of the Xuan Whale little by little, as well as Xiahou Ming, who was about to break free from the chains, Shangguan Shuo and Nangong Lan looked anxiously at Dongfang Yin, who was sitting under the tree and had been indifferent.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yin breathed a long sigh of relief, stood up, shook his head, and then clenched his fists, tensed the muscles all over his body, and roared:
"Light, metallurgy—Emperor Jiao!"
At this time, from Dongfang Yin's hand, a dazzling golden Qi emanated, making his whole body become golden and shining, like a majestic god. And his expression became solemn, solemn, and at the same time, terrifying, as if the judge was about to judge everything before him.
While controlling the attack of the big insects, Xiahou Ming, who was constantly breaking free from the chains, seemed to feel something that frightened him, and actually stopped attacking and struggling.
Under the control of Dongfang Yin, the golden Qi rushed into the sky, absorbing a large amount of metal elements in just an instant, forming the appearance of a huge Jiao, rushing to the front of the big insect, opening his mouth and spitting, a stream of golden light hit the big insect's body, causing the big insect to let out a painful roar.
Emperor Jiao attacked the big insect strongly, causing it to keep retreating, and in order to prevent it from devouring it again, Dongfang Yin planned to fight quickly, so he controlled Emperor Jiao, rushed to the big insect, and wrapped it tightly with his long and powerful body.
Then, Dongfang Yin shouted towards Emperor Jiao:
"Darkness Appears"
After speaking, Emperor Jiao's whole body emitted a golden light, like a round of sun, melting the body of the big bug, making the big bug struggle in pain, as if it had met a nemesis.
In the end, Emperor Jiao strangled it, degenerated into black Qi, and entered Xiahou Ming's body.
As soon as the black Qi entered Xiahou Ming's body, Xiahou Ming, who had just broken free from the chains, was counterattacked, spit out a mouthful of blood, and suddenly fainted to the ground, becoming unconscious.
Dongfang Yin looked at Xiahou Ming who was lying on the ground, raised his head and shouted to the canopy of the big tree behind him:
"After watching it for so long, it's time to do something, right?"
With that, a white figure fell from the canopy of the tree with a loud laugh, and then, a sharp lightning bolt pierced the sky......
